    Destroying Houses to Save Cities - Room for Debate
    Are banks helping or hurting a community by bulldozing foreclosed property?
    Short term help, long term destruction.  Think of it as palliative care.

      For Older Japanese, Tsunami’s Carnage Evokes WWII Horrors
      Along the northeastern coast of Japan, the elderly who couldn’t outrun the wave made up the largest portion of its victims.
      Most of the running was done years ago.  The wave came in with little warning and great speed.  
      Perhaps the best action would be to commit to parks and agriculture with no residences.  Those who want a life tenancy can have it.  There is little chance of another event there soon. Free holds and leases can be bought out at former market prices.  This area should not be inhabited long term.  Short term, it does not matter.  The residents should be released from their property.

    Are banks helping or hurting a community by bulldozing foreclosed property?  It is palliative care, it relieves the immediate pain and eventually kills.  The trick is getting that not to matter.

      Nature and war are not that comparable.  Nature just does not care.  Pay the survivors to live elsewhere.  If they insist on living there, give them life time leases.  Their heirs must inherit elsewhere.  This area should have no inhabitants in a hundred years.

      There are limits to what can be done.   
      The frail elderly can be very stubborn.  
      I will not fault any survivor.
      The real horrors are what we do to one another in the name of politics.
